Chapter 16: The Truth of Michelle’s Death, and First Stat Allocation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Super Detective System wasn’t the same as a superior at the police department. It had its own way of calculating one’s contribution to a case.
The total points allocated in Michelle’s case was 100, while Luke had contributed 70 percent in solving it.
When Luke thought about it, it was probably because he had played a big role in both identifying and capturing the suspect.
For example, without what he had seen at the party, the investigation wouldn’t have focused on Jessica so quickly.
If the case had dragged on until she was already out of town for further studies, it wouldn’t have been as easy to look for her to assist in the investigation.
Moreover, the longer the case dragged on, the more likely it was for more of the evidence to disappear. At the same time, the memories of the people involved in the case would start growing hazy, and all that would adversely affect the investigation.
Because of that, Luke had been accorded a contribution of 70 percent, and awarded 70 percent of the total points for this case.
This implied that if Luke was the chief of police and wanted to gather points via his subordinates solving cases for him, that was unlikely to succeed.
He had to make actual contributions to qualify for the rewards.
Luke wasn’t too disappointed by this discovery. It wasn’t that bad.
The only thing he was still clueless about was the credit points.
What exactly could he do with the credit points?
Generally speaking, credit points existed for the purpose of being spent. But the system hadn’t shown him any sort of catalog, so the credit points were left untouched for now.
Perhaps that function would only unlock after further level ups.
He opened his eyes and started eating his breakfast of bread and milk again.
After he was done eating, he entered the house. After thinking about it, he gave Selina’s official number a call. “It’s me, Luke. How’s the case coming along?”

Shortly afterward, Luke hung up and nodded in satisfaction.
The case had indeed been solved.
The intelligence he provided had indeed been helpful. Jessica was the murderer.
The next day after Jessica’s questioning, Robert obtained a search warrant. They caught Jessica by surprise, and from her house, they found the shoes which matched the footprint.
Apart from that, they also found several articles of clothing which Jessica hadn’t yet had the opportunity to wash.
Since Luke had described what Jessica was wearing the other night from memory, Robert had a clear target when searching her house.
Next, Knox City’s forensics department worked overtime and found George’s and Michelle’s bodily fluids on Jessica’s clothes.
That, coupled with the footprint, made it clear what Jessica had done that night.
In truth, Jessica had been paying attention to Michelle. When she saw them enter the room, she waited until they were dead drunk after s*x before she snuck in through the window. Then, she suffocated Michelle to death with a pillow before leaving through the window.
While she was suffocating Michelle, Jessica had been crouched over her. Because of that, some of the bodily fluid stained her clothes.
The bodily fluid was the most important evidence, one that played a bigger role than the footprint.
After all, Jessica wasn’t the only one with that pair of shoes, but the party was the only place where her clothes could have been stained with George’s and Michelle’s bodily fluids.
That was because prior to the party, George and Michelle would only have met at their respective homes, places that Jessica couldn’t enter easily.
When Robert returned and told Luke the full story that night, Luke was rendered speechless.
During the interrogation, Jessica quickly lost her mind and ignored the lawyer who was pleading for her to keep quiet. She started cursing Michelle, and while she was at it, she confessed everything about how she had killed her.
It was indeed a crime of passion.
Michelle was in a relationship with many guys, Lorde the quarterback being one of them. The handsome quarterback was Jessica’s true love, but he had rejected her many times.

Jessica was sure that it was definitely Michelle who had seduced Lorde, causing him to reject her.
Now that Lorde had graduated and Jessica was still in her sophomore year, the two definitely no longer had a chance of being together.
When Jessica accidentally found out about the party, she stealthily drove over, and while everyone was partying, she kept an eye on Michelle.
Based on what Jessica said, she hadn’t planned to kill Michelle, and merely intended to give her a beating.
As for how that turned into murder, Jessica said that after she saw what Michelle had done with George, she recalled how Michelle still refused to back off from Lorde. In a fit of anger, she picked up a random pillow as she thought about frightening Michelle with it.
Alas, Michelle was dead drunk and couldn’t even struggle, and was thus directly killed with the pillow.
Jessica didn’t even realize Michelle was dead. She thought that Michelle had passed out, and she even felt like her revenge had failed.
But just as she was about to leave, she saw George come out and place Michelle in the small pool.
She had watched on coldly, still unaware of Michelle’s condition.
Finally, when someone noticed that Michelle was no longer breathing, Jessica had gotten a bad feeling and slipped away.
That was also when Luke had seen her from above.
When she arrived home, Jessica was uneasy yet unsure about what was going on. Since she also felt guilty, she didn’t dare call anyone to ask about it. She didn’t even tell her parents anything.
As a result, when Robert brought her to the police department the next day, she was greatly frightened.
And before her parents could even do anything, Robert arrived with a search warrant the day after.
As for what happened after that, it no longer had anything to do with their police department. It no longer had anything to do with Robert as well. They had already done their job.
What was left was for the prosecutor to charge Jessica with a criminal lawsuit, while her family would enter a plea for her.
In less than a week, the police department solved the case, sufficiently displaying their capabilities.
More importantly, Michelle was a children of the town while Jessica was a child of Knox City. Because of that, the residents of the town were satisfied with the results of the investigation.
Luke was even more satisfied.
Since it was the weekend, he used the simple workout equipment which Robert had in the backyard to test out his new strength after allocating his stat points.
He had played a few video games before, where he wanted to become a pure strength character. Thus, he first allocated his points to strength.
After all, strength was a stat that would definitely be useful.
Why was the Hulk so powerful? Because he was strong enough to destroy a battleship with one punch.
Of course, Luke had never dreamed of being that powerful. But it was never bad to have more strength.
He added all 3 points to strength for a total of 15 points.
He tried doing bench presses, deadlifts, and squats, and found that his strength had indeed increased slightly.
He could now bench about 280lbs, lift about 400lbs, and squat under a weight of about 400lbs as well.
And the reason his results stopped at 400lbs was because that was all the weight Robert had.
Luke only knew that he still had strength to spare, especially during the squats.
But he had no intention of doing a test outside, and he also had no intention of letting anyone notice his change.
